I mean, I got the email from Christopher at 9:07am, CST. It's now 1:36pm CST, and the kickstarter is funded. That's a record, right?
You mean CDT, right? Because it didn't even start until 10 AM CST (which is eqivilant to EDT).
I'd call it a record. I'm pretty happy with it. So, what are our bets for the 24 hour mark? I'd say maybe $35K?
Oh, yeah, I guess CDT. See, the problem is, I work with solaris machines most of my day, and you actually set the timezone to CST, and it magically performs the CST/CDT conversion for you, so I tend to think of myself as CST. So stupid anyway, I wish they'd just get rid of daylight savings time.
I also wish daylight savings would go away. It's for this reason that I emphasis between *DT and *ST (technically, automatically switching from CST and CDT is simply CT).
I actually got the e-mail AFTER backing, which, at that time, had only about a quarter or less funding.
Call me a massive dork but I miss those daily kickstarter updates... the GTG guys are great about that. So I'm happy to see a new kickstarter, just to get a surprise in my email fairly often.
In the Kickstarter ala carte items, why not throw in the HP Trackers from Rook City, Enhanced Edition Upgrade Box (for ppl who wants a nice box for ST (sleeved) too) and the T-Shirts too?
Some backup may want them for combined shipping cost and it'll help to push up the pledge levels!
We may or may not see a T-Shirt added.
I don't know whether we will get the Rook City HP trackers - the Enhanced Edition tokens are supposed to replace them, and I don't know how many of the trackers >G has in stock still.
The Upgrade Box will probably not be available. >G stated on another thread that they had completely sold out their entire stock of upgrade boxes, and it did not seem like they had any intention of doing a second production run of empty boxes (probably little to no margin on it).
Well, at just under $35k in just under 24 hours (right now is 23 hours 45 minutes), that was a very good guess.
Ah, so close! Oh well, I'm still happy. We got funded and the first stretch reward in a day. Now, today we'll get the second stretch reward. Can't wait for news on those.

You can totally add those things if you want! We didn't put them on the a la carte graphic because relatively few people would add them, and it is not worth the potential confusion/clutter. But for those of you in the know, you can definitely add anything from our store to your Kickstarter pledge and have it shipped in the same box, as long as you let us know what you want to get in the backer survey once the Kickstarter ends.
it's over (3)9,000!
I'm interested in specifically the Enhanced Edition Boxes (empty). Just to confirm, you guys are out, and aren't making more, correct?
You know, I said just under 35k in just under 24 hours, but I meant to say just under 37k in just under 24 hours.

Correct. We are out of those, and are very unlikely to make any more.
aww... I was considering buying 2 of those...
40K!!!
Some of us may want to buy an extra empty box to store sleeved based game+RC+IR+ST. After all, we know that ST will be the last SotM expansion in the near future, so the next 'big storage box solution' is at least 1 year or more away. The empty box will come in handy as a temporary solution.
